#1 On one hand they tell us Russia can't defeat Ukraine (a typical African country that, somehow, ended in Europe). On the other hand, they tell us Russia can conqueer Western Europe.

#2 It does seem odd, Grom. Possibly they’re thinking that Ukraine is better armed than Europe.

#3 Or, possibly, it's just another attempt for manipulating their oppressed populations: "Don't worry about Muslim colonists, worry about Russia!".

#9 Then Donald Trump triumphed again in the New Hampshire primary, thereby rendering a Biden-Trump rematch next November a racing certainty. This raises the spectre of chaos in Washington, with dire consequences for Ukraine, for Europe and the cause of democracy.

The most dire consequence for the cause of democracy was when Joe Biden cheated his way into the White House and started the war in Ukraine. And we know from history that it's always Democrats like Biden who get us into the shittiest wars. I get the distinct impression that people like "Norwegian commander-in-chief Eirik Kristoffersen" actually want war.

Oh, by the way, it was Zelensky who cancelled the upcoming elections is Ukraine. There's another threat to democracy that Yahoo ignores.

#10 On one hand they tell us Russia can't defeat Ukraine (a typical African country that, somehow, ended in Europe). On the other hand, they tell us Russia can conqueer Western Europe.

Yes, Grom. I believe the term for that is speaking out of both sides of the mouth. But, here again, they're Democrats so what do you expect?

#11 Then, this week, a speech at a military conference in Twickenham by the head of the army, General Sir Patrick Sanders, was leaked to the media. He called for a new “citizen army” to be trained and equipped for the worst case scenario of a war with Russia.

Ah, the good old draft, as predictable as the rising sun.

#14 A moment's levity as we "gallop towards the graveyard of Empires" to paraphrase Kunstler today!
